Tomoka Nishimura

<sigh>

I just checked again, and yeah, the last entry is still from August 31st, 2009.  I wish we knew if she was still trying to make it as a performer.

A full version of Marble would be the ultimate rare find.  Does a full version even exist?  And if so, is it a studio recording, or a concert bootleg recorded by a fan?  The only version I have ever heard is on Potaaju.

I think there's a full version, but I think it's only a fan bootleg, though....

Anyway, I came across this site recently:

http://ip.tosp.co.jp/i.asp?I=lifezone8&P=3

It lists the events of Tomoka & ZONE in their indies period...!
I didn't even know some of these facts...!

A Tomoka indies CD?? What??
◎西村朝香
「科学の子(ｶﾊﾞｰ)」
「hunch」
「ｴﾝｼﾞｪﾙ」
「love the wind」（石橋紗苗）
「marble」（山下真実）
「only(ブルボン)」
ﾁｭｴﾙ’sでは
「風と光とうたと」
「for you」

Anyway, did you ask at Hello-online? They seem to have everything.

[Soul of ZONE]

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. 

Well, I know Kagaku no Ko was on the Astro Girlz & Boyz mini album....
And, Only was on that BOURBON the Audition promotional single....
Of course, the Chuel's single....

But...I never knew that hunch and marble were ever released in CD form...I didn't even know that she sang the songs, Angel and love the wind....

Maybe this just was a listing of songs she sang apart from ZONE...?

Still, this list was quite interesting....

 !!!!!

At the same lake festival where Miyu was!  At least it seems that way.  I checked Miyu's blog, and several of the comments seems to say it was great to see Tomoka there too.  I did a google search (in Japanese) of Miyu + Tomoka + name of the lake, and one fan's blog entry came up that seemed to also indicate that Tomoka was there and that it was a pleasant surprise.  No word yet on what songs they sang.  The concert just happened within the last 24 hours.  But, I imagine other bits of news about this may be popping up from fans/blogs in the next couple of days.

Tomoka!!!!! 

[TheFrustrated]

Wow, great news! I'm really glad that Miyu and Tomoka are still doing things together. I wonder if the ZONE girls ever talk to each other much nowadays?

After a long time of not using her blog  closed it down

[revsfan98]

When I saw that, at first I was excited because it looked different and thought it might be an update.  But alas...

There has been more talk about Tomoka in the comments section of several of Miyu's recent blog entries.  I am not sure about the verb tenses, but they seem to be saying it was/is/will be good to hear Tomoka's voice again, indicating one of 4 things:

1) still talking about her appearance at the lake festival
2) a more recent appearance as a guest on Miyu's radio show
3) an upcoming appearance on Miyu's radio show that has not yet happened
4) possibly being part of the Power of Art Project concert lineup?

Somebody who can read Japanese  - please check out the comments in Miyu's blog and see if you can figure out what's going on, if anything!  #4 would be sweet.

[Soul of ZONE]

Hmm...I read some of the comments, and I think that it was a recent radio show appearance.  I'm not sure if she's going to be a guest for the next episode, though....

Well, #4 might still have a chance as the full lineup hasn't been announced yet, but it seems unlikely....

Interesting (and somewhat saddening) to note that Miyu and Tomoka are the only remaining artists on HIGH-JUMP's homepage....
